Synopsis

A tale of Victorian life. The story of a neglected street urchin Jessica, and the outcome of her simple faith when hearing about the hope of Christ. How do we react to the poor and needy? What does it mean for a minister to be a servant of God? How can our faith be integrated into our daily lives? These are all questions that are addressed in this book. An encouraging book about how the least of these among us can have the most powerful effect.

About this title

About the Author:

SARAH SMITH (1832-1911) was born in Wellington, England. She had the good fortune of being able to read books from her father's bookshop, a printer of evangelical literature. Her mother was a strong evangelical, but died when Sarah was young. When she began writing, Hesba Stretton was her pen name, Stretton coming from the name of a neighboring village, and Hesba coming from the initials of her siblings. She wrote Jessica's First Prayer in 1867, which became one of her most beloved stories. It sold very well and was translated into many languages. Other best sellers were Little Meg's Children and Alone in London. She was familiar with the troubles of street children whom she visited and helped. She wrote over 60 books and stories.
